Just been ordering some beads. I am going to make a new mala (prayer beads) lovely capri blue crystal and beige lotus flowers as marker beads. It keeps me from getting bored. I read Andy's book Champion again and also have a couple of books on my Kindle when the telly is rubbish. Can't wait for the tennis to get going again.

yes I live in florida margaret,I have been here since 1968 but eveyonce in awhile i get very homesick.Think it was wimbledon and seeing baby George,gets my head to thinking about home.Its very expensive british air wanted 1700.00 round trip but I found a better price.I miss my sis very much.I would go back if i didn't have kids and one grandson whom i adore.

Hope you enjoy your visit home iamabritt. I know how you feel I lived in Australia of and on. I used to get quite homesick as well but we came home and started all over again. Still hate the Scottish weather but life goes on.

My beloved bugger of a hubbster just Skyped me from St. Louis and didn't tell me he was in a room full of colleagues. He just waved his ipad around the room with everyone waving to me.Meanwhile, I'm sitting here in my jimmy-jams and not showered because we had a tiring late night last night on Skype.

(Not what you're thinking.. ..his connecting flights were cancelled, then long delays with weather, so he didn't get in until early this morning. )
